Cindy and I have
been around this hobby since 1988.
We started out selling everything, but as the years went by we
concentrated on literature and air meters.

After I wrote the
Gas Pump Identification book everyone started introducing themselves
to us, I wish I could remember all your names.

For seven years I also was a professional Santa Claus. Most
guys would recognize me by the big beard I had every year. A
heart attack sent Santa back to the North Pole, so you will
have to look twice to recognize me without the beard. The hat
I wear mostly is my Korean Veteran cap.

I don't set up at
the shows, just walk around with a camera taking pictures.
Come over and say hello.r

I am again writing
gas pump articles for the "Check the Oil" magazine. If you
really want to keep up with things in this hobby I suggest you join
the IPCA and get the "CTO" magazine, and get on the web at
www.oldgas.com to get your
answers to just about any petroliana question you might have.

I prefer
corresponding by email but I don't mind giving out my phone number,
you can always call me (as long it is after 11:00 am and before 7:00
pm everyday). Do like to take off Sundays, but if it is
important, call me. 314-427-3943 , or send us an email at
